[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Like pp said, figure out a chore list and dinner menus at the onset[/quote]

OMG don't obligate me to having dinner as a group if I don't want to. The best time to sit out on the beach may be late afternoon/eve. It's my vacation. I don't want my schedule "
planned". I'll pick up after myself and contribute. But if you have specific plans for my time, it's not happening.[/quote]

Not PP, but I don't think this is as much about making people sit and eat together as it is about knowing [b]who is in charge of food for that meal.  [/b]On the few beach trips I've been to with groups of 12-16 adults (plus kids), we[b] planned in advance who was in charge of meals for each day[/b], so that group/person/couple left the beach early before that meal or did what prep work they needed to do in advance, put together the food, and then others eventually showed up.  It wasn't ever an issue of waiting around for others to show up, as people just tended to congregate around the kitchen when food was being prepared. And if someone's not there, fine, they can eat leftovers or put together a sandwich if there isn't anything left. [/quote]

You might try to plan some simple menus ahead of time. It's disheartening to make lasagna and salad for dinner when it's your turn and then get bologna sandwiches when it's someone else's.[/quote]
